Who’s Convention is Contested Now?

After months of speculation about a contested GOP convention in Cleveland, it’s looking and sounding like the Democrats will be the ones with complicated nominating work left to do. Though the math is not adding up to a nomination, the Bernie Sanders campaign is still hard at work beating the likely nominee Hillary Clinton all over the map and actually planning for a contested convention. With a ton of back and forth about what is “good for the Party,” the Sanders convention plan is focused on pushing his progressive agenda items into the Party’s platform and ultimately is convention rules. It remains the case that while Hillary is busy campaigning for her November election, Bernie is busy changing the pathway she’s going to have to take to get there.
